Nearly a million tourists visited the 12 archaeological zones of the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, home of The Riviera Maya, during 2006, according to local officials. The most visited site was Tulum, which is only 45 minutes south of Playa del Carmen. It received 80% of the nearly 7,000 daily visitors that the sites get. Though there are other sites in the area, a lack of well-maintained roads has kept tour groups from exploring much farther south than Tulum. Officials plan to improve the roads to take some pressure off Tulum and to get more exposure to other areas of the state.
